I want to put this engine in a 86 bronco with a c4 I have been searching for info and have been getting controdicting info. will I have to change the bell housing on the trans or not? the bronco was oringinaly a 302 but now has a 351w? if so will the original f100 3speed bell housing work? any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi ,No such thing as a 390C unless its been stroked?,sounds like you have a 390FE [I myself have huge respect for FE's use to have a very tuff 1]if its a big block you will have to change trans-big housing]engine mounts etc,find out exactly what it is first ?post a photo and engine # -check out the FE page on the sight
